I SOOOOO needed to see/read this today. I am right there with ya, sista! EXHASTED from summer fun . . . last night I was so wired from the circus with my kids that I could not sleep so I posted a blog at 1 a.m. and I am wiped out. Class reunions, family visiting, fireworks, VBS, VBS again, sick kids, bbqs, on an on and on. And yes, laundry.grace & rest,~jodi shaw

I thought with all our "activity" this summer that the girls would be tired early (or at least the baby would nap well). No such luck here. Enjoy that quiet. On a funny note, I actually read this post in a whisper. See, I listen and follow directions well. :D

Summer really is one of my favorite times of the year. Besides the fact I love being outdoors so much I also love all the time with my kids. Even with the chaos I love it. I have a lot friends who cannot wait for their kids to go back to school. Me. I am loving them home. We only get so many weeks with them right? I am keeping us pretty crazy and busy too. But, then enjoying the calmer and quieter ones. Enjoy your little bit of quiet.

I read this as my 2 boys were sleeping, and all was quiet in the house. I need a break as much as they do, and yeah maybe I wasted it by watching The Hills Aftershow {don't judge:)}, but still it's so nice. Enjoy your little break!!

Don't know if you know this song or not but the lyrics are incredible..."Be Still" by Steven Curtis ChapmenBe still and know that He is GodBe still and know that He is holyBe still, O restless soul of mineBow before the Prince of peaceLet the noise and clamor cease

Be still and know that He is GodBe still and know that He is faithfulConsider all that He has doneStand in awe and be amazedAnd know that He will never changeBe still

Be still, and know that He is GodBe still, and know that He is GodBe still, and know that He is God

Be still; Be speechless

Be still and know that He is GodBe still and know He is our FatherCome rest your head upon His breastListen to the rhythm of His unfailing heart of loveBeating for His little onesCalling each of us to comeBe still, Be still

I forgot to comment on your previous post, so here it it is. 1. I love your Sunday verses. Divinely {I'm certain} they speak directly to me every week.2. Let me make you feel better about your lack of paper mastery... I lack any and all scrapbooking, card making, sewing, knitting, crocheting, photography AND photoshop ability! I do get pregnant REALLY easily and do make very pretty babies... is that a talent??? My point is wow, you have serious sewing skills!! My talent unfortunately has been retired and I've been rendered talentless. I should take a class to learn a new one :)3. Happy Summer!

my hubby just said the same thing about the laundry. yep, he does it. i fold and put it away (well, at least i put it away). we are a good team. but laundry is something he hates. but he's super good at it. as i type this i realize i need to step it up a bit and do it....anyhoo. yes, enjoy the rest. i love a sleeping baby. so sweet.
